    Does everybody after training run 2 months as a team with another new driver as well or can that be changed?

    My bad. I wasn't aware you were specifically referring to that company. My humble apologies.

    No apology needed, and I apologize if I seemed abrupt....I was just explaining why I answered the way I did.


    I know longer run for USX, and the only information I get is from what I read in here on the other threads....but it seems to be that the only way that is changed is when they are having problems finding another driver to team you with....I know that has happened in a few cases.

    It's basically what musicgal said, except logging 10 hrs of backing practice is optional and it's not in addition to the 120 hours.

    I've never had an FM try and make us go team. In fact my problem is usually the opposite. I have a hard time getting them to run us team when we are ready.

    As stated, there are exceptions made but it is not up to you. You should plan on two months teaming. The other exception is if you sign on for dedicated. You will not have to team then.
